| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet Just plug them in and play them. We use a Walmart power strip for around $10 and it works fine. You are better off spending money on upgrades capacitors, resistors, chokes, etc. | |
| How to make small room sound bigger sure modify your components begin with power supply capacitors, install better resistors like Audio Note non-magnetic silver, add filter chokes to the AC and inputs, etc. Happy Listening. | |
| cal. audio lab delta Pro-ject - Jays - then Rega. But a better DAC and a few modifications to the Cal is where I would venture. | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? here you go, send you components to me for upgrades. Better than any cable, component, room treatment you can find. | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? Nah it is in the equipment not the speakers. Speaker design helps but we made old AR 510 box speakers disappear. Your equipment has to be up to the task. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? @bvdiman - I have to laugh because we just finished rebuilding and upgrading an old FM Acoustic power amplifier yesterday. Wow did it sound good. Right up there with the old HK XX power amplifier as two of the best SS amps I have ever heard. ... | |
| Aerial Acoustics 10T vs Talon Khorus AND sounded like they measured: super colored. For a while I had the monitor version to check out and I literally thought they were broken they sounded so "off." Interesting comment above. I did not own the monitors but I never thought the Kho... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... is the preamp/amplifier sound debate now over? Most everything has a signature sound characteristic. Every resistor and capacitor has their own sound. That also goes for transformers and chokes. Even the chassis material has a sound. So they a... | |
| Bluesound 2i coaxial output sound quality Interesting comments. I am new to the streaming thing. But I build reference audio components, DHT DAC point-to-point wired with 20lb power supply. IMO the DAC makes the biggest improvement. The streaming device contributes but not to the leve... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @immatthewj Go to ebay and buy sylvania 6SN7 green letters and the yellowish letter tubes. Probably between $30 & $50 for a pair each. Start there and see how your preamp sounds. | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? In building preamp amplifiers, the 6SN7 based tube in general is a warmer sound, more relaxed presentation, more dimensional soundstage with real mid-range beauty. That being said, the 6DJ8/6922 is generally more dynamic, faster, better clarity, ... | |
| Unity in cable manufacturers? it is system dependent Happy Listening | |
| Pierre Lurne - Audiomeca @prolonga not is a while now no response to my attempts. | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? Like everything - depends on the preamp. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? I did not read everyone's comments but the one where you are asking why would the amp/preamp be an issue. They don't always match that is why. Kind of like a recent speaker a manufacturer sent to us. We build components but the speakers we rece... |
